Materials

All necessary course materials are included.

System requirements

Minimum technical expectations for the online learning environment. Your IT team can use this as a checklist.

Internet connectivity

Cable, Fiber, DSL, or LEO Satellite (i.e. Starlink) internet with speeds of at least 10mb/sec download and 5mb/sec upload are recommended for the best experience.

While cellular hotspots may allow access to our courses, users may experience connectivity issues by trying to access our learning management system. This is due to the potential high download and upload latency of cellular connections. Therefore, it is not recommended that students use a cellular hotspot as their primary way of accessing their courses.

Hardware

  • CPU: 1 GHz or higher
  • RAM: 4 GB or higher
  • Resolution: 1280 x 720 or higher. 1920x1080 resolution is recommended for the best experience.

Speakers / Headphones Microphone for Webinar or Live Online sessions.

Operating system

Windows 7 or higher. Mac OSX 10 or higher. Latest Chrome OS Latest Linux Distributions.

While we understand that our courses can be viewed on Android and iPhone devices, we do not recommend the use of these devices for our courses. The size of these devices do not provide a good learning environment for students taking online or live online based courses.

Web browser

Latest Google Chrome is recommended for the best experience. Latest Mozilla FireFox Latest Microsoft Edge Latest Apple Safari.

Recommended software

Office suite software (Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, or LibreOffice) PDF reader program (Adobe Reader, FoxIt) Courses may require other software that is described in the above course outline.
